What is a stomach ulcer? and how easy is it to get rid of it?

Could be something as minor as a stomach ulcer or even stomach cancer. Don't ever depend on the internet or anyones opinion. Just go to the doctors. It could be nothing.

It could be anything from mere stress, to something more serious like an ulcer, stomach/intestinal cancer, or interior bleeding from a wound.
If left untreated it will only get worse, and could possibly be fatal. Like everyone else says, **go get your hiney to the emergency room now**.

If the blood is red (like when you cut your self) then you have irritated something (or could be worse). If you are throwing up a coffee ground substance then it's more from your stomach. You REALLY need a doctor's advise. Don't delay. Do something.

Don't panic; it might be an ulcer or you might have broken a blood vessel by hard coughing. After a round of bronchitis you might be coughing up blood. At any rate, see a doctor for this right away.

Ironic that I just went over this with my nurse friend because my exgirlfriend started throwing up blood after we broke up.
There are a lot of different things you could have. It needs to be evaluated by a doctor ASAP and should NOT be ignored. It is serious.

Probably could be lots of things but on TV a lady was doing due to a lack of a B vitamin-- folic acid (folate). Beans and greens have a lot of it. But don't you think that you should see a doctor??? If they had not found out about the folic acid, the woman would have died.

You probably should get to a Doctor as soon as you can. If you're vomiting blood, that isn't a good or normal thing. So go get it checked out before you become too sick.'

You could have any number of diseases but don't worry about that right NOW. NOW you need to call an ambulance or go to the ER - NOW
